Root Beer

The A&W Root Beer song, famously known for its catchy jingle, was written by the advertising agency Young & Rubicam in the 1970s. The jingle has become an iconic part of A&W's branding, often associated with the enjoyment of their root beer. While specific individual authorship may not be widely credited, the song is a product of collaborative advertising efforts.

Homemade root beer relies on fermentation, which requires sugar as food for yeast to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol. Most sugar substitutes, like aspartame or stevia, do not ferment in the same way, meaning they won't provide the necessary energy for yeast fermentation. Additionally, sugar substitutes can alter the flavor and texture of the final product, making it difficult to achieve the traditional taste of root beer. Thus, using a sugar substitute hinders the brewing process and affects the overall outcome.

Root beer soda typically contains ingredients like sassafras and sarsaparilla, which have historically been associated with some health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, commercial root beer is often high in sugar or artificial sweeteners, which can negate any potential health benefits. Moderation is key, as excessive consumption can lead to negative health effects, including weight gain and dental issues. Overall, while there may be some minor benefits from certain ingredients, root beer is primarily a sugary beverage with limited nutritional value.

Root beer, also known as sarsaparilla, is a carbonated beverage (or possibly a type of beer) originally created from sassafras. Root beer, popularized in North America, comes in two forms: alcoholic and soft drink.

The soft drink version of root beer is generally made using extracts or flavored syrups diluted into carbonated water. It is not as widely popular as other soft drinks, such as cola, and constitutes only 3% of the U.S. soft drink market.

The alcoholic version is made by fermenting a solution of extract and sugar with yeast. Typically this will yield a beverage with about 0.4% alcohol, compared to more than 4% for most regular beers.

Root beer flavor may contain a variety of flavors, coming from the wide range of ingredients. Bark from the roots of the sassafras tree was the typical flavor in root beer historically, and is the primary flavor most individuals associate with the beverage. It is slightly red at times. Sassafras bark was banned by the FDA in 1960 because of the carcinogenic properties of its constituent chemical safrole. A safrole-free variety is now used, with some claiming that it has a weaker flavor than the pre-1960 variety. Acacia is also used.

There are hundreds of root beer brands in the United States, produced in every U.S. state, and there is no standardized recipe. The primary ingredient, artificial sassafras flavoring, is complemented with other flavors, common ones being vanilla, wintergreen, cherry tree bark, liquorice root, sarsaparilla root, nutmeg, anise, molasses, cinnamon and clove.

Homemade root beer is usually made from concentrate, though it can also be made from actual herbs and roots. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic root beers have a thick and foamy head when poured, often enhanced through the addition of yucca extract.

In a lot of places, but mostly grocery stores and gas stations.

There is, without doubt, a world record for everything, though most will not be recorded.

Originally the main flavor came from the root of the sassafras tree which happens to smell just like the drink. Sassafras has been replaced by artificial floors in mist root beer now because its been shown that sassafras may not be good for us to eat. Of course there is going to be some type of sugar and carbonated water. There are many recipes for it but vanilla is a really common flavor that's added to compliment the sassafras flavor.

Root Beer and sarsaparillas as known in North America were not around when the Leprechauns first appeared in Ireland. Now that the World is getting smaller, metaphorically speaking of course, and products are reaching distant shores everywhere, I'm sure the little fellows would enjoy a nice refreshing Root Beer, I sure do.
